System Features

The FA848C is a state-of-the-art microprocessor-based control/communicator that provides
3 partitions plus a common partition, and supports both hardwire and wireless zones.
Programming can be performed through any of the compatible keypads; or the system can
be uploaded and downloaded remotely using the Compass Downloader Software.
Additionally, the software can be programmed to control remote actions, such as arming,
disarming, bypassing, etc. Programming options are stored in an Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM is nonvolatile, meaning that
programmed instructions will not be lost in the event of a loss of power.
